Apopka Fl Chiropractic Care Helps Relieve Carpel Tunnel Pain Safely With Noninvasive Techniques

By Bob Albert Lewis


When people experience problems in their back or neck they may think of visiting a chiropractic doctor. However, chiropractic care can help other conditions as well. The care offered can improve quality of life for the patient and help to ensure that he or she lives with less pain. An Apopka Fl chiropractor can provide noninvasive therapy that often relieves carpal tunnel syndrome.

The carpals are a set of small bones found in the wrist. Along with tendons and other types of tissue they form a small opening that allows the median nerve to pass. This nerve provides communication between one's thumb, index finger, forefinger and the brain.

Carpal tunnel syndrome may cause many symptoms, that normally affect the areas the median nerve provides messages from the brain. The condition often grows worse with time, especially if one continues to make the same mistakes. Conventional medicine often suggests surgery as a solution to the problem.

Chiropractors use less invasive methods to encourage the median nerve to heal. A chiropractic doctor may make an adjustment of the upper spine, wrist and elbow to bring relief of the pressure and allow the nerve to heal. Additionally, patients should rest the hand and arm, make appropriate use of ice to reduce inflammation and ensure the wrist is immobilized using a brace.

Some chiropractors also use ultrasound therapy. This therapy uses sound waves from outside the human range of hearing to penetrate into the tissues of the body. These sound waves help to relax muscles, reduce inflammation and alleviate pain.

If you are facing surgery for carpal tunnel syndrome, a second opinion from an Apopka FL chiropractor may be in order. For many people the conservative therapy offered offers a nonsurgical option. In addition, one may find help for many other issues affecting the body through chiropractic.
